A History of Video Art is a revised and expanded edition of the 2006 original; which extends the scope of the first edition; incorporating a wider range of artists and works from across the globe and explores and examines developments in the genre of artists video from the mid 1990s up to the present day. In addition; the new edition expands and updates the discussion of theoretical concepts and ideas which underpin contemporary artists video. Tracking the changing forms of video art in relation to the revolution in electronic and digital imaging that has taken place during the last 50 years; A History of Video Art orients video art in the wider art historical context; with particular reference to the shift from the structuralism of the late 1960s and early 1970s to the post-modernist concerns of the 1980s and early 1990s. The new edition also explores the implications of the internationalisation of artists video in the period leading up to the new millennium and its concerns and preoccupations including post-colonialism; the post-medium condition and the impact and influence of the internet.

Mankowskis book has me morphed; body and sole into that of his lead character (again)By Sophie AndersonHaving read and loved his last book (Letters from Yelena) I was intrigued to know if his new one would work its way under my skin like the first. The writer Guy Mankowski has this ability to reaching inside the head space and psychology of his characters; especially when written in the first person. As I read through; so I began to slip inside the body and mind of a man driven to self destruction and desertion.I re-remembered chunks of my own youth lived as a gothic rock girl and began smelling the cheep beer; old carpets and hot air reminiscent of live music venues. Bits of my own life merged with the lead characters and by the end of the book I could soundly say; yes; this had also worked its way under my skin.
